NEW DELHI: India's spin great Ravichandran Ashwin has served up a hilarious twist to the swirling IPL trade rumours, turning speculation into prime entertainment. In a teaser of the upcoming episode of Kutti Stories with Ash, the 38-year-old is seen in conversation with Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson — whose own future has been a hot talking point in recent days.As per Cricbuzz, Samson is reportedly unhappy with the RR management and has requested a trade or release. Meanwhile, another report has suggested that Ashwin and Chennai Super Kings could part ways, with the veteran potentially stepping down from his role as Director of Operations at the CSK Academy.Reacting to the chatter, Ashwin didn't miss the chance to poke fun.“I have a lot of questions to ask. But before that, I thought I'll come directly and trade myself. I am happy to stay back in Kerala. There are a lot of rumours going on. Neither do I know of anything. So, I thought I'll reach out to you and ask you. If I can stay back in Kerala and you can travel back to Chennai,” Ashwin said, leaving Samson in stitches.The light-hearted exchange has quickly gone viral, with fans enjoying Ashwin's ability to turn tense speculation into comedy gold.Bought by CSK at the IPL 2025 auction for Rs 9.75 crore, Ashwin had a modest season, taking seven wickets in nine games. With reports suggesting CSK are keen on signing Samson, the video adds another playful twist to what could be a busy transfer window.For now, the only thing confirmed is that Ashwin's wit remains as sharp as his carrom ball.
